This question is totally hypothetical...I was wondering if it is possible to merge hirez textures into an existing rom image to replace the old textures. Basically, making a new modified rom out of it. If this were to be possible...would it be legal? Or would that be plagerizing the authors original content of the rom itself? Sorry if it was a stupid question :P thanks-minkster

I am pretty sure that isn't possible because the textures use a specialized format and when the roms searches for the textures it searches a certain address in the file. You could probably do it if they were the same filesize which really wouldn't be hi-res then.

I think overall it would be a job that will take a long time. but also its better this way because you can customize the way you want the game to look like.

Hmmm... nah. You'd be overwriting game code since the new textures are bigger. Plus I guess it wouldn't be legal since you're editing copyrighted material.

Plus the video plugin would have to expect to load bigger textures than its probably prepared to.
